As some of ya'll already know, my 5 year old daughter loves to craft! But my 2 year old son... not so much, actually. However, I have found that he seems to respond really well to music! I've been trying to work more music into our activities, so we made up a little song for St. Patrick that goes with our Saint Patrick puppets. :-)
So, I tried to figure out a way to sing a children's song with a paper bag puppet on my hand in a you tube video without looking ridiculous, and basically determined there was no way around looking ridiculous... so I just went with it! ;-)
Lyrics to St. Patrick's Day Song: a song about the trinity for kids. (Tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)
St. Patrick shows to you and me a shamrock for the trinity.
The Father and His only Son plus the Holy Spirit are 3 in 1...
St. Patrick shows to you and me a shamrock for the trinity.
This really was a fun song to sing with our puppets, and kids eat stuff like this up with a spoon! Happy almost St. Patrick's day everyone! :-)

This is adorable! I know, my little ones (and big ones, though they hate to admit it!) love to sing. I put stuff they have to memorize to music often :)
Just taught it to my 8 year old and she loved it! Might even convince her to copy the words in her journal to sneak in a little dictation today! (She doesn't like writing!)

Lacy...this is just perfect!!! I can't tell you how excited I am about this little song. We've been reading all about St. Patrick and my daughter wanted to know if there was a song about St. Patrick. It looks like you came through for me once again. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much. It is just what I need for tomorrow with the littlies I have to teach. I had the story, game, craft and now the song. What a life saver you are.:) You know you are my favourite Blogger!
